Gov. Jared Polis flip-flops on live TV over Harris ‘supporting’ southern border wall

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis was heard floundering Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” over Vice President Kamala Harris “supporting” the construction of the U.S. southern border wall. Harris has faced repeated criticism from Republicans in recent weeks for failing to explain her flip-flops on numerous policies she campaigned on in 2020. After ABC’s Jonathan Karl pressed Polis on Harris reversing her position on funding the southern border wall, Polis claimed Democrats “have always been supportive of building barriers and walls.” “Look, this is another issue that as it gets into the public discourse is very misleading. Democrats in general, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, you know, Barack Obama, have always been supportive of building barriers an...

Outcome of Saturday meeting showed equal support for Williams as Brighton opposition days earlier

By Heather Willard | Fox 31 News  Colorado Republican party infighting continued throughout Labor Day weekend with a contingent of the party’s central committee meeting Saturday in Castle Rock and voting to retain Dave Williams as chairman. The meeting comes exactly a week after another group of Colorado Republicans gathered in Brighton to vote Williams out of his position — 77 party members gathered for the meeting, alongside 104 proxies. Party members moved to oust Williams after he sent an email from the state party stating that “God hates flags,” and then posting to X that Americans should “Burn all the #pride flags this June.” Both sides appear to be boycotting the other’s meetings, and Williams touted in a Colorado GOP email that 191.5 votes wer...

‘We are actively investigating criminal activity’ Aurora PD says amid concerns over Venezuelan gang

By Michael Abeyta | CBS Colorado As panic over Venezuelan gangs in the community continues to spread, Aurora police visited an apartment complex Friday to reassure neighbors that officers are there for them. Meanwhile, the mayor is taking a much tougher approach. On Friday, the City of Aurora released a video of Interim Police Chief Heather Morris and a cadre of officers meeting with residents at an apartment complex that has been at the center of media and online discussions about Venezuelan gang activity. "We're out here because we care," Morris said. "We want to reassure the people who live in this community that we are actively investigating criminal activity and listening to them."

Teen mental health facility gets go-ahead in Castle Rock, as neighbors worry about safety

By Olivia Young | CBS Colorado One Colorado town is making moves for youth mental health. Twenty percent of teens ages 12 to 17 reported suffering from one major depressive disorder in the last year, according to Sandstone Care. Now, the town council has voted to rezone a former assisted living facility to allow for a mental health treatment center serving teens. The soon-to-be Sandstone Care treatment facility is at 864 Barranca Drive in the Metzler Ranch neighborhood of Castle Rock. However, some nearby residents are worried about the safety concerns they say Sandstone Care will bring. "Great, now we gotta watch out for what's really gonna be happening, like crime and things like that," said Metzler Ranch neighbor Miles Negley. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Biden claims Netanyahu is not doing enough to secure a deal with terrorists

By Danielle Wallace  | Fox News President Biden claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not doing enough to secure a hostage deal with Hamas terrorists. Biden made the remarks to reporters before heading into the Situation Room, where he and Vice President Harris are convening with a hostage deal negotiating team following the murder of 23-year-old Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages by Hamas on Saturday. Jonathan Dekel-Chen, the father of an Israeli-American hostage still being held by Hamas, pleaded earlier Monday for the U.S. and Israel to broker a deal "with Satan." READ MORE AT FOX NEWS

Johnson: The Top 7 Tim Walz’s Lies

By Ben Johnson  | Daily Signal CNN thinks it understands what sets Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz apart from the average politician: honesty. “[W]hat Walz has—and it’s rare in politics these days—is that he’s totally comfortable in his own skin. He knows who he is. He’s authentic. And he doesn’t try to be someone else,” said CNN’s Chris Cillizza. Yet Walz stands accused of purveying a string of lies, errors, and prevarications stretching back to his earliest days in politics, fibbing about everything from his military service to whether he won an obscure award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce as a 29-year-old man. Here is a far-from-exhaustive list of the mistruths Walz has communicated. READ MORE AT THE DAILY SIGNAL...

Family eulogizes murdered hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin as thousands mourn in Jerusalem

By Olivia Land | New York Post The heartbroken family of slain Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin paid tribute to their bright, “beautiful” son and brother at his packed funeral service in Jerusalem. “Hersh, we all failed you. You would not have failed you. You would have pushed harder to justice,” Jon Polin addressed the late 23-year-old during his address at the Givat Shaul cemetery. Polin evoked his son’s spirit with a Torah verse that called on one to find a close teacher and counselor, and to give all people the benefit of the doubt. READ MORE AT THE NEW YORK POST

Billionaire anti-gun philanthropists backing biased anti-gun research

By Lee Williams | Buckeye Firearms Association “In this world, you get what you pay for,” said Kurt Vonnegut in Cat’s Cradle, his fourth novel. And when billionaire philanthropists are involved, Mr. Vonnegut is more than right. Nowadays, billionaires get exactly what they pay for. An investigation by the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project reveals how a former Enron trader and his wife are quietly paying millions of dollars every year to colleges, universities, think tanks, and other groups for biased anti-gun research, which is then cited as gospel by the corporate media and used as propaganda by anyone who wants to infringe upon law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Billionaires Laura and John Arnold — through Arnold Ventures, a Houston-based...
